MERCEDES Corby has today reiterated her apology to Indonesia over her controversial television interview which now threatens to send her sister back to jail.

Looking stressed and shaky, Ms Corby, spoke briefly to the media outside her family compound in Kuta, telling reporters that the family intended no disrespect.

And her husband Wayan Widyartha said Schapelle was a “bit better” today but was still on medication for her ongoing stress and mental condition.

“From the bottom of my heart I am very sorry to the people of Indonesia if my interview on Australian TV caused unease. I apologise if my words were disrespectful to Indonesia. I did not intend any disrespect,” Ms Corby said.

“Our family are thankful and grateful that Schapelle is free on parole and we thank the Indonesian Government,” she said.

Ms Corby gave a similar statement to News Corp Australia late last night.

She would not take questions from reporters and the stress of the past few weeks was evident.

He said the family was very worried that Schapelle could end up back in prison. He said they had waited more than nine years for her freedom.

It is understood that a report, from the Justice and parole authorities in Bali, has now been finalised and will be sent soon to the Justice Minister in Jakarta.

Her repeated apology comes after Indonesian authorities held a marathon six-hour meeting that lasted into the night to discuss whether Schapelle Corby’s parole should be revoked — as her sister Mercedes issued an apology to the nation’s people.

The meeting also discussed the impact of sending Corby back to jail and whether her fragile mental state meant she could self-harm or attempt suicide as a result.

“Our family are happy and grateful that Schapelle is free on parole. We thank the Indonesian Government.”

The contentious interview, which aired on Seven’s Sunday Night program at the weekend, has stirred controversy amid suggestions it was a back door way of circumventing the justice minister’s ban on Schapelle doing any tell-alls. Late yesterday a team of officials including the Bali Justice Ministry and Corrections Board chiefs met to discuss Corby’s parole and what recommendation to make to Jakarta.

The group, which also included Corby’s parole officers, met for more than six hours as they discussed all aspects of the parole and whether it should be revoked.

It is not yet known what if any conclusion was reached. One official said a decision was pending today.

Sources from within the meeting told News Corp that the group had discussed the impact on Corby of sending her back to jail and concerns that she may harm herself or attempt suicide.

This is in the wake of comments from her brother-in-law Wayan Widyartha about her mental health and about how she is now so fragile and stressed that she has even locked herself in the bathroom for a whole day.

Wayan Widyartha said Schapelle is struggling mentally, is stressed and sometimes locks herself in the toilet for a whole day.

Mr Widyartha pleaded with the media to back off from his family’s Kuta compound where Corby is now living, admitting that she had attempted self-harm earlier this week.

He said Schapelle still required medication for her depression.

“This is about her mental condition. Sometime she doesn’t want to talk to us. Sometimes she stays in the toilet all day. She still needs medicine for her depression. I hope people understand. Let her get well soon,” Mr Widyartha told the media outside his home.

“She is up and down. Many people are following her. That’s why we alienate her from television,” he said.

“She is stressed now as she can’t go out because many journalists are pursuing her. I hope all media can please let us get comfortable … so that the parole can be carried out successfully until 2017. She has been a long time in jail, and it is not easy to go back to the community.”

Earlier in the week parole officials said Corby had threatened suicide during a meeting at her family’s Kuta home.

It is also understood that the group discussed the fact that the luxury Sentosa Seminyak villas, where Corby spent her first three weeks of freedom, was paid for by the Seven Network.

They discussed the fact that “a third party” had paid and whether this constituted payment to the Corby family for their story.

The officials are seeking details from the Sentosa management about the exact cost of the four-bedroom villa and all services where the Corby family spent the first three weeks of her freedom. Seven also paid for the security guards who watched over the villa and Corby.

The ultimate decision, on whether Corby’s parole is revoked, rests with Indonesia’s Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin. He has said he is waiting on the report from his Bali officials before making a decision.

But he has said that he is losing patience with the Corby saga and suggested the family was not grateful for what they had already received.

There is no time frame on when a decision would be made.
